Podcast: The ADHD Channel for Women
Published On: Tue Nov 12 2024
Description: We can feel more anxiety in some situations than others. Some people and settings may make us more on edge, and others more relaxed. Psychological safety is the freedom to be imperfect or to make mistakes without major consequences. With ADHD, psychological danger can be even more intense due to challenges with impulse control, executive dysfunction, and emotional dysregulation. ADHD coach Jaye Lin talks about what can make us feel more psychologically safe, and what can make us feel more anxious and dysregulated.Related resourcesManaging your emotions with ADHD: One lawyer’s storyADHD and emotionsADHD and anxietyTimestamps(00:47) Dina’s quote(02:19) What is psychological safety, and psychological danger?(04:14) ADHD and psychological danger(8:26) What can we do if we find ourselves constantly feeling psychologically unsafe?(14:17) RecapTo get a transcript of this show and check out more episodes, visit the MissUnderstood podcast channel page at Understood.Have a challenge you'd like Jaye to talk about in an episode?
